International Initiative for Departments of Peace



"To work for peace is to work to transform violence. The fundamental aim of a Ministry for Peace is to reduce violence, both in the UK and internationally.The real struggle of the 21st century will not be between civilizations, nor between religions. It will be the struggle between violence and non-violence. Help non-violence win."

In response to the call from the People's Initiative for Departments of Peace, ministry for peace launched a new campaign, Negotiate Peace, at our meeting in Parliament on March 1st 2006. There is a separate website, www.negotiate-peace.org that offers resources to individuals and organisations wishing to call on governments to adopt proven non-violent conflict transformation methods to resolve this crisis.
